Investigate the Layers of Fear and >observer_ Connections

by Chris Bashaar, Publishing, Aspyr Posted on

As you walk through the hallways of the mansion in Layers of Fear, there are thousands of subtle details that you can miss. Everything about the hallway is meticulously designed to push you forward, but if you stray from the beaten path, you’ll be rewarded with many surprises. With >observer_, the hallways of the apartment complex offer similar rewards. There’s a natural link between the format of the hallways in both games. Each leads you forward, maybe even pushes you with fear toward your final destination. But, not all doors are locked, not all quests are clearly mapped out, and not all secrets are easy to find. We like to leave breadcrumbs for our fans though, so here are... Read more: Investigate the Layers of Fear and >observer_ Connections

Frantic Speedrunning Platformer Razed is Available Now on Xbox One

by John Thompson, Game Designer, Warpfish Games Posted on

Razed is a lightning-fast platform racing game that's all about speedrunning. Levels are littered with pitfalls, death traps and precision platforming. We’ve made the game challenging but here are our six most useful tips to help you get through without being razed. 1) If at first you don't succeed retry, retry again We learned early on in development that retrying a run with as little fuss as possible is essential. For this reason, we mapped Retry to a face button making it as accessible as jumping. No menus, no fuss, just instant retry action. 2) Keep moving Your character has got power shoes locked on. Running builds up power. Standing still, going slowly or using abilities... Read more: Frantic Speedrunning Platformer Razed is Available Now on Xbox One

Bringing Construction Simulator 2: US Console Edition to Xbox One

by René Nold, CEO, Weltenbauer Posted on

Construction Simulator 2 US: Console Edition isn’t meant to be the successor of Construction Simulator 2015 for PC. Construction Simulator 2 US is meant as our first step into the world of the consoles. Construction Simulator is a game series that we have felt committed to for quite a long time now. We started back in 2011. At the time, the construction simulator topic was still vacant, and we already had some experience in creating simulations for the construction industry with Liebherr. By now we have found our niche in the simulation genre and we like the idea of doing something constructive instead of blowing up stuff like in other games. This is our first development for the...
